This guy is hanging out behind my house with what I think is a mix of westerns and Taverners, but I'm not much good at subspecies ID beyond avoiding Duskies. Obviously some sort of Canada hybrid, a quick glance around the web suggests domestic. Any other ideas?

If he's around when shooting opens on Saturday, I may have to take a closer look.

Looks just like this one down at our neighborhood pond. Part domestic.

Looks like something crossed with a White fronted goose

Ross/canada/specklebelly

They do look pretty close.

I just got a look at him on land and his body appears to be more slender than the Canadas.

It's clearly a Canada with that disease Michel Jackson had.

It does have kind of a high pitched voice.

Pedophilia?

Goose!

It's got orange feet. Go shoot that thing before it creates another "rare" subspecies of Pacific flyway goose.

Your Pedo-Goose looks like our barn goose/Canada goose here. It also has a smaller body than the other Canada geese in the pond and has orange feet. I'd shoot it.

It's a goose, right? Hell yeah!

Shoot it before pgquackstacker does.

Bahaha, funny cause it's true

I'll try.

Guy on our local board shot this one a couple weeks ago.

Why is it still swimming near your house? Shoot it.

So? What happened Bank? Did you throw a little chlorine in the goose gene pool and kill this hybrid pedo-goose?

I haven't seen it since Wednesday, late afternoon, after shooting time was over in this zone.

I live in the Oregon NW Permit Zone for geese, which requires every hunter to pass an ID test, as well as buy a daily harvest report card, and only allows hunting from Saturday through Wednesday, 7:30am-3:30pm. And we have to check our geese in at a regional check station, where they keep tabs on numbers for all the subspecies. Only 3 cacklers and Aleutians in aggregate/day out of a 4 goose limit, and only 1 dusky per season, after which you lose your goose permit and have to take the test again for the next season. There are also season quotas for the duskies, and once they are filled, all goose hunting in that particular sub-zone is closed. I don't really goose hunt because it's too much of a goddamn hassle, but I'm willing to shoot them in my backyard and drive 5 miles to the check station on the other side of the island, which I will attempt to do tomorrow morning, whether the king-of-pop-pedo-goose shows or not.

That is the most fucked up set of rules ever.

All to protect a subspecies of goose who's numbers have been in steady decline ever since an earthquake raised their breeding grounds a couple feet and made them more vulnerable to predators while nesting. I think that was in 1972. So what does limiting harvest in their winter range do for them? It makes them the dumbest, easiest to decoy geese around, makes hunting any geese around here a major PITA, and keeps some coyotes in AK fat and happy during nesting season.

Those geese have been disadvantaged and deserve a government hand until they can get back on their feet

I would give up my goose zone permit for a dusky in a heart beat, but apparently trophy hunting by out-of-towners is frowned upon by the locals. Haha!

I had some collared ones out back a couple weeks ago. I'll let you know, next time!

Hell, I'd take a ticket for that.

This one's got some leg bling, too.

Did you take those from your house?
